Summary

Oak Grove Elementary is a public elementary school in Kansas City, KS, serving 523 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Turner-Kansas City school district, which is ranked 217 out of 264 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oak Grove consistently outperforms the Turner-Kansas City district average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, but its performance still falls below the state average, indicating room for improvement. The school's strengths include strong academic outcomes for specific student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners. However, Oak Grove faces challenges with a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19.5% to 38.7% in recent years, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.23% to 78.01%.

Comparing Oak Grove to nearby schools, the data suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as district-level policies and resources, may play a significant role in shaping academic outcomes. While the Turner-Kansas City district schools have similar performance profiles, the Shawnee Mission Public School district schools, such as Merriam Park Elementary, Ray Marsh Elementary, and Bluejacket-Flint, consistently outperform Oak Grove and the Turner-Kansas City district in academic proficiency, despite serving similar student populations.
